Carnal Media Exclusive Bastian Karim is the lead superstar for the exciting relaunch of "Staghomme." He's had an illustrious career; before he signed on with the Mafia-tinged porn thriller, he had earned several awards at prestigious events like the Grabbys EU and XBiz Europe.
Born and raised in a small Colombian city nestled near the Pererda mountains, Bastian an avid reader, a cinephile who enjoys watching movies and TV shows with his family, and a former judo practitioner turned swimmer (a switch he made to protect his face from bruises.) His thirst for knowledge extends to his studies; he excels academically and is particularly fascinated by the art of direction of photography, which he applies with joy to his work in the porn industry.
Bastian has journeyed from Colombia to Spain, where he now calls home. His decision to pursue a career in porn stemmed from a desire for freedom and self-expression. Despite facing initial rejection in Spain due to not fitting the stereotypical image of a porn actor, Bastian found success in Prague, where he filmed his first scene with BoyFun in 2017.
Since then, Bastian's star has risen rapidly. He's garnered accolades such as the Grabbys EU Best Twink and Best Jock awards, as well as XBiz Europe's Gay Performer of the Year. He recently made the decision to relocate, seeking a quieter life away from the bustling center of Barcelona.
In “Staghomme,” Bastian plays a fictionalized and gritty version of himself. As “Bastian” the character, he’s a gay porn star whose success stems from serving the transactions of power brokers within the elite, including the mafia, the church, politicians, and businessmen. Bastian’s journey through interactions with various power brokers serves as a microcosm for broader societal critiques—and boy, does he look great doing it.
